All’s fair in funding tips for groups

Community groups across Northumberland can pick up tips from the experts to boost their chances of finding funding.

Northumberland CVA (Centre for Voluntary Service) is hosting a funding fair next week for organisations to chat to national, regional and local funders.

Advice on grant applications will be at hand in pre-booked slots, while the Northumberland VCS Support Services team will be able to talk to groups about developing projects, volunteering and other funding sources.

CVA funding officer Marc Johnson said: “It doesn’t matter whether you just have an initial idea or a well worked up project, or whether your project is large or small. The funding fair gives local groups a great opportunity to discuss their ideas with funders.”

The event takes place at Wylam Institute on May 19. To book up call 01670 858688.
